	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2164, Pescetti.   Trustline registration system:  providers.
   Existing law authorizes a child care provider, as defined, who
possesses any one of 4 identification cards to initiate a background
examination process by submitting one set of fingerprints and a
completed trustline application to the Department of Justice.
Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to
establish a trustline registry and, upon submission of the trustline
application and fingerprints, to enter into the trustline registry
the provider's name, identification card number, and an indicator
that the provider has submitted an application and fingerprints,
which would be known as a "trustline applicant."
   This bill would expand the trustline registration provisions to
apply to any person providing in-home educational or counseling
services to a minor.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 1596.60 of the Health and Safety Code is
